That's not what happened in the show though.

What actually happened: She read her grandmother's journal that had surprisingly spicy bits. Went to bed and was raped by a non-corporeal being and deceived into thinking it was a dream. She then tried to rationalize this disturbing dream to her close friend and therapist.

Trying to twist this into something else is just creepy

So what? You're awfully proud of your hangups. Everybody's grandmother had a lover or lovers. Everybody's grandmother FUCKED. Stop making totally normal life experiences weird and shameful.

There are lots of ways to fill a 2D space with a single non-crossing path. I'm sure counting the ways could be interesting to some. I guess you'd prefer a zig-zag oriented orthogonal to the sides, rather than the corners. This orientation fills the frame of a photo a little better though given the perspective. You could also make a spiral. I think the Hilbert space filling curve is way more interesting, but probably would make for a confusing photo.

Say no more, you had me at Jeffrey Combs.

I guess women aren't allowed to be sexual? No excusing the other sexist Rick Berman nonsense. But if you really think women reading about, finding pleasure in, and talking about erotic literature with their friends and co-workers isn't a fairly common, mundane, and totally normal thing to do without any shame, then I really don't know what to say. This feels like a really creepy thing to take issue with.

You can save the entire ship, cure random space diseases, raise a child alone on a starship faced with existential threats on the daily, but you fuck one ghost and now men only see you as the ghost-fucker.

They are trapped in an artificial reality. They (the characters in the show, not the real people) didn't do a full loop. They went straight out and got dimensional flipped back inside

That would be quite a surprising find indeed. I'm pretty sure that we would have already observed the gravitational effects of such a planet though. The Planet X and Planet Y the article refers to are out on the fringes of the solar system with Pluto, which is still pretty neat I think.

Because shows got a tax break for things like this.

Have you? Several of the first few cars I drove did not have power steering and without any doubt or hesitation I can say they were not as safe to drive. And having been personally struck by a vehicle at slow speeds I'm pretty confident that your argument there doesn't hold up to scrutiny. I'm not saying they can't be driven. I'm saying that they are less safe, the same way cars without anti-lock breaks are less safe. Both require extra training and practice to operate safely in an emergency situation, training that is increasing difficult to get because most people drive cars that have had these essential safety features for their entire lives.
